HookID identifies your catch from a single photo and shows you current Florida FWC regulations — slot limits, bag limits, and open seasons — right where you're standing. Built for Florida anglers, fresh and salt.
One photo answers the questions that matter: What is it? Can I keep it? How many? How big? HookID puts the answers next to the fish, not buried in a PDF.
Snap or upload a photo and get ranked species matches with confidence scores, powered by the Fishial.AI recognition engine.
Slot limits, bag limits, and seasons for 108 Florida species — shown the moment your fish is identified, so you can decide keep-or-release with confidence.
Goliath Grouper, Bonefish, and other no-harvest species get an unmissable red banner — so an honest mistake never becomes a violation.
Log every catch with photos, notes, and location. Your journal lives on your phone — never on our servers — and works with no signal at all.
NOAA tide predictions with the day's highs and lows, solunar major and minor bite windows, and sunrise, sunset, and moon phase for your exact spot.
Hourly and 5-day NOAA marine forecasts — wind speed and direction, temperature, and boating conditions — so you can plan the trip before you burn the gas.
See which species are active around you right now, based on your location and the time of year — and it's free, no subscription needed.
Browse all 108 species — 79 saltwater, 23 freshwater — with habitat, peak seasons, diet, and lure recommendations. A field guide that fits in your pocket.
Take a photo in the app or pick one from your camera roll. Works from the boat, the pier, the bank, or the kayak.
Your photo is matched against the Fishial.AI recognition engine and HookID ranks the most likely species with a confidence score.
Current FWC slot, bag, and season info appears with the match — including a clear warning when a species is protected or out of season.
Florida's rules change by species, size, and time of year. HookID pairs every identification with the regulation summary that matters in the moment:
HookID is an informational aid, not legal advice — always verify current regulations at MyFWC.com.

Explore is the whole library, searchable and free — no subscription, no video to watch. Nearby narrows it to what's actually active where you're standing.
Your location is used on your phone to work this out — the Nearby list is never sent anywhere.
Five of Florida's most iconic fish — Goliath Grouper, Nassau Grouper, Bonefish, Lemon Shark, and Great Hammerhead — must go straight back in the water. When HookID recognizes one, the slot and bag numbers are replaced by a warning you can't overlook:
That is the app's banner, word for word — shown above the regulation cards, before you ever read a slot or bag number.
Track what you caught, where, and on what — with photos and notes. The journal is stored entirely on your device: no account, no cloud, no sync, no server. Uninstall the app and it's gone.

HookID pulls tide predictions and marine weather straight from NOAA — the same data the pros use — for the spot you're fishing, not the nearest airport.
Rather not share your position? Decline the location prompt and pick a tide station by hand — both screens still work.
HookID Pro is $2.99/month or $19.99/year — the annual plan saves about 44%. It is one subscription: unlimited identifications, the catch journal, Tides & Bites, marine weather, and no ads anywhere in the app. Cancel anytime in your App Store or Google Play settings. U.S. pricing — your local price and tax are set by Apple or Google and shown in the app before you subscribe.
No accounts, and nothing of yours gets sold. The free version is supported by ads from Google AdMob — and HookID Pro removes every one of them. Either way, your journal, photos, and GPS location never go to advertisers.
Catch entries, photos, and locations are stored only on your device. We can't see them. We can't lose them. We can't sell them.
An ID photo is sent securely to Fishial.AI for identification only — it isn't stored, logged, or retained by HookID's servers.
Two ad formats in the free version, both clearly marked: a small banner, and a rewarded video that unlocks an identification and only ever plays when you tap to watch it. No pop-ups, no ads between screens. You control personalization through your device's tracking prompt, and going Pro removes both formats — and ad data collection — entirely. Privacy Policy →
